This article appears to fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as a brief mention as a corporation president is not "significant coverage". The source cited doesn't seem to say anything of substance, and even primary sources say very little about Ciranko. It seems that this article has been created merely because articles exist about other Watch Tower Society presidents. Jeffro77 (talk) 08:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the president of the main corporation of JW's was relevant enough. We can keep the article and find more info over time. Regards. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 16:13, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The threshold for inclusion is coverage in reliable secondary sources, not 'he's probably notable'.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:50, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even within the group, despite his position, this person is considered behind the scenes. —Paleo Neonate - 16:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG as far as I could see from some online searching (and he's recent enough that there are unlikely to be many other paper sources). Matt's talk 16:57, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I have no time for the Watchtower Society, but its President (equivalent of an archbishop or primate) certainly should be notable. The problem is that this is a mere stub and we have no detail. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Whether something 'should' be notable is irrelevant, and the president of the corporation in question is not at all analogous to "an archbishop or primate". The fact remains that the subject of the article fails the general notability guideline.--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:25, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Even within the organization this person is mostly behind the scenes. Fails general notability guidelines for now. Future events may possibly eventually make Ciranko notable. —Paleo Neonate – 06:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG. Notability has not been estabished. Antonioatrylia (talk) 22:00, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
